The Obsidian Crown constantly damages you and totally fills up your bloodstream, rendering you immune to every chemical. However, it doesn't disable healing from touch reaction chems like synthflesh. The stun resistance, teleporting away of hostiles and the constant flushing of chemicals from the Crown bearer's system makes them a literal god that you can do nothing to harm. Please make the Crown disable all healing, or change the way it disables chemicals so that poison attacks on the crownbearer are possible.

One thing I did when I had the obsidian crown was walk around eating chips all round because the health boost is enough to negate the damage from the crown.
I don't agree the obsidian should disable all healing, it shouldn't flush chems that's for sure.

How about this? All chems work on the wearer, but concerning knock-out chems and anti-psychotics will breaks the crowns "control" over the person, rendering the crown useless until out of the wearers system.

He will not have time to heal and just vanish in a cloud of misery and pubbie tears. Lag will keep you from teleporting away until after they're gone.

That's if he's a pubbie though.
If he's anyway experienced he'll at least dodge two of those shots and you'll get teleported away, in which he'll immediately use some burn meds.

The thing with the obsidian crown is that it's a bit of a old relic of the past that falls into the artistic toolbox bracket where
A) It's a rampage item
B) The only hard counter against it is if the user is inexperienced.
If the user is anyway experienced, he will rampage. There needs to be a hard-counter that a player can use against the wearer, which is why I think chemicals should work, OR if you want to chose a less lethal method than pouring sarin on his smug face, knock-out chems or an anti-psychotic (another use for the tranq rifle) could disable the powers for a short while

This is a lot easier said than done. Lag does not keep you from teleporting, and if he's on the move, your single laser will not slow him enough to get even a second one off. I spent the entire aforementioned round with riot shotguns and a charged egun shooting him over and over, even on the ground, and he just stands up, sprints off, and keeps going
Riot shotgun slugs keep him on the ground for about two seconds maximum, it's not fun nor is it really a fix.

The guy using the crown had a spray of synthflesh that meant any time he got too injured, he was exceptionally quickly healed, and given how fast he regenerated from stuns, he was really very invincible.
He was also cloaked in the dark, and hitting him with mutadone did nothing because of the bloodstream flusher.

Welp. This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm all in favour of unleashing Marquesas the Ruiner of Fun on this one.

Make it so if you put the crown on you get hit by Space Madness and Berserker after a while. And if you live long enough you get hit by more stacks of them, until they are so compounded you are a hallucinating, screaming mess that won't stop punching himself and others.

Water the floor, weld the crown clown in a locker after he slips, space/incinerate/gib him.

Spray him with a hellfire mix and watch him burn alive.

Get the AI to help and electrify a door before having it crush him. Repeatedly.

Have the mechanics set up a bunch of launchers in the hall and fling fifty floor tiles at him as you chase him down.

Force feed him a rainbow melon slice and hope it blows up in his (and your) face.

Immunity to chems and teleporting away direct attackers isn't all that helpful when there are so many wonderful indirect ways to kill someone in SS13 if you just get creative. The crown is fine as it is, you guys just need to get gud.

Out of my severely underwhelming repertoire of experience with the crown, I don't think it actually reduces stun times from slipping, only from tasers/shotguns and such, which makes sense because literally bulletproof.

If the crown actually DOES reduce stun times across the fucking board, INCLUDING from slipping/door electrification, I vote that the stun reduction in all areas that aren't bullet/melee induced be completely removed for the sake of balancing.

Hell, maybe ALL the crown's stun resistances could be moved over to the rune armor so that it'd be slightly less shit, and giving people more of a reason to wear both at once besides bragging rights.
